Just get another Vanilla R?
Second hand they'll only be like £50-60

But i think DHXs fit, lots of the new style Big Hits seem to have them fitted.

might be a silly ask, but have you tried fitting it all four different ways? if you know what i mean like with the piggy back up/down and with it facing forward/back. because there looks to be bags of space for it to fit if the piggyback was facing backward and up. If you understand what i mean.

yeah iv tryed... nothing...the linkage s about 2mm to small and the spring width is like..huge.. well to big for the linkage

plus the piggy banks vertigal off the shock unlike fox's
so it wont go piggybank at the front il do a pick ang on...
please excuse the shite job at removing, i should say LACK of removing the BB when painted lol
